National Peasants' Party

The National Peasants' Party (PNT) was a conservative political party in Romania that was active from 1926 to 1947. The party was founded as the result of the fusion of the Romanian National Party and the Peasants' Party of Romania, and it was a moderately conservative and strongly monarchist party with some left-wing corporatist views. Following the Romanian Communist Party's 1947 ban on the PNT, it was alleged that 270,000 PNT members were sent to prisons and work camps. In 1989, the party was refounded as the Christian Democratic National Peasants' Party.
